Answer 1

The resolution on Windows Mobile devices is usually unchangeable. You need to make your application adapt to different resolutions instead of trying to make the device have a specific resolution.

It takes all the running you can do to stay in one place.If you want to get somewhere else,you must try to run at least twice as fast as that.

Hello Johnson,

                Thank you for your reply.

                Is it possible to change windows mobile resolution Using ChangeDisplaySettingsEx() method?

 

                                         Thanks

Answer 3

As Joel mention it is generally not possible to change WM resolution using any method. That is because LCD screens have fixed resolution and device hardware and/or drivers do not allow for any other resolution.

Naturally you can try using that method on specific device you have, most likely it won't work. You probably can only rotate display using that method on Windows Mobile.
